I'm planning to transfer all my Pokemon from the Japanese version to the English version.

Good idea or Bad idea?

Not really a bad idea, actually, though I don't know what you'll actually be getting from doing so?

I got Pokemon White atm.
Planning to get Pokemon Black.

It's more convenience, really.

Trading them all over at once means you won't later be going, "I want to use XXXXX right now... oh right, it's on my other game *sigh*."

So yes, I suggest doing so to save you the trouble later. You can trade directly from PC boxes now, too, so it wouldn't be too annoying I would think, aside from catching a ton of Patrat or whatever to use as trade bait.

Wow look at the new starters! Their sooooo innovative aren't they? At least this time they haven't ripped off some animal.

Godammit.
Mogsy
Because nature doesn't have millions of species of the same type of animal.

People who complain about the starters for being 'unoriginal' should go back under their rocks.

I can't believe the starters have colors we've seen before. Invent new colors that nobody has ever seen before you unoriginal bastards.

I'm only 15 away from completing the Gen IV National Dex... think I can do it in a week?

I mean besides the two event-only ones I missed.

You should be able to get the majority of those at least. You should be able to get all the Easy ones in one afternoon, and you can trade for Totodile on Wi-Fi if you have it (try GameFAQs or another site). The Medium is more tedious, but should be doable. Regigias is doable if you get the regular Regi (which you noted). If you're not going for the events, then only Latios should be hard to get.

If you go for it starting now and spend all Saturday finishing it off, you should have all but Latios, Arceus, and Shaymin by Saturday evening (and Totodile if you lack Wi-Fi). You can do it I think.

And yes, I forgot to mention Australia's release date. Kinda sucks for you guys, but on the bright side, at least it's not as bad as it has been in other years.

Too late, already did it. Thanks for the advice, though!

And there's a new OCRemix album out.

I'm still stuck at 648 in my BW dex too @_@

Much to our arrogance, we don't want to get a Deoxys from trade and am waiting for an event or something...

Yeah Deoxys is the only missing dex page :<

Just picked up White version at my local Best Buy and they gave me a $5 gift card just for buying it.
It's almost like it was actually $30. Life was so good when games were $30.

Anyways, just opened the game, the intro made me feel like it wasn't a Pokemon game. Oh well, time to start!

Pft, White. Black all the way!

I'm sorry, but I think Caterpie justifies anything else you could throw at me.

So I've begun my slow playthrough. The intro FMV was pretty random. I'm a bit miffed at Reshiram, Zekrom, and Victini being rigged to never be shiny. Shiny Victini is gorgeous.

Justin Wong plays Pokémon.



To those that don't know who Justin Wong is: Justin Wong is one of, if not the, most famous fighting game player in the US. Popularly known to be the best at almost all the fighting games that he competes in, the fighting game community of the country calls it blasphemy if dedicated comeptitive fighters don't know about Justin Wong.

And then he talks about Pokemon. What?!
Mogsy
I personally don't give a fuck about Justin Wong.

Also, I haven't had the game for long. Just got Victini. Kinda mad that he, Zekrom, and Reshiram can't be shiny, but oh well. About to take on the third gym, then putting the game down for a bit to do more homework.

2 badges. Currently on that whatsit route that's kind of a mess.

Just started as of 5 minutes ago.
Bah. I've been trying to catch a Minezumi Patrat (lol@English names) for a minute now but I keep on making it faint...

Edit:
Also I got myself a Super Potion thanks to my Yooteri Lilypup.

Sold a million+ copies in a day in the US. I forget how that stands up to games like Blops.

I've heard good things about this trip around the school grounds. Now, are the character designs any good? Solid gameplay or not, the last pokemon game I played (gold/silver) had like 3 good pokemon designs and the rest were inferior to weedle.

This time around, yes (for once).

Probably won't be too impressed by these. They're barely Pokemon anymore. Of course there's this guy.

Anyways, this is one of the better Pokemon games so far and seems to hold a lot of improvement.

I was going to say something else, but I forgot.

Currently in the city with the 5th gym. Team of lv25s, one lv33 Krokorok, and one lv21 Sigilyph.

Prior to that, I had to fight a tag battle with Cheren against two preschoolers with their high attack Herdiers. I Swaggered them with my Krokorok, but instead of hitting themselves, they took out 3 of Cheren's pokemon with OHKO Take Downs, while my Krokorok didn't get any damage. It was awesome.

Haven't really played a lot, in Chargestone Cave right now. 5 badges, no Pokemon below level 30.

Mouth Hug (Tynamo) lv. 30
Bernkastel (Gothorita) lv. 32
Mokona (Cinccino) lv. 33
Smugleaf (Servine) lv. 34

I also started training Kling, got it to level 30, and gave up. Man, fuck that thing.

Cinccino is so cute, man. Too cute. Its movepool doesn't take advantage of its modest attack stat, but hey, Technician'd Wake-Up Slap.

Is there anyway to get another fossil? I button smashed and got the wrong one ;_;

I restarted because of this :( The bird fossil is fucking awesome. His attack and speed are top-tier, only problem is his ability is meant to hinder them (hp <50% = 1/2 stats)

Also, scrafty is probably my favorite 5th gen pokemon so far. It's ability is sexy for pve sweeps. Also, Scrafty was literally built for pokemon league. I don't want to spoil much but really. If you're having trouble with it (which you shouldn't - its ez) get a scrafty.

I made the same problem, but played on because I didn't care at that time. I just checked up on the stats, and holy wow.


I've already beat the 7th gym though, not sure if I should restart or maybe trade around for it.

My heart is broken D: Now I have to value ID 50505 vs Archeops ;_;
